title: Idiopathic recurrent branch retinal arterial occlusion in a young adult.
abstract: A case of bilateral, idiopathic, and recurrent branch retinal arterial occlusions occurring in an otherwise healthy 36-year-old woman is presented. The diagnosis of idiopathic recurrent branch retinal arterial occlusion was made after extensive medical investigations failed to find a cause for the occlusions. The differential diagnosis of retinal arterial occlusion in the young is discussed.
